Sacramento Wavefront LASIK, Laser Eye Surgery and Vision Correction

If you're a prospective Sacramento LASIK (or Sacramento LASEK) patient, I want to make the case for why you should see Harvard MD and surgeon Dr. Scott Hyver — a specialist in the SF Bay Area — before you commit to a Sacramento laser eye surgery provider.

I'm going to explain that, through a special hotel package we offer our Sacramento Wavefront LASIK patients, that the convenience factor of the local Sacramento LASIK surgery market shrinks. More importantly, I'm going to describe why our focus on optimizing your visual results, is the single greatest justification for going the extra mile to see Dr. Hyver.

The Sacramento LASIK Eye Surgery Value Equation: Price, Location and Visual Results

As one of the San Francisco 49ers team physicians and eye doctor, Dr. Hyver has performed LASIK on many pro players and coaches, including Terrell Owens. If you follow any pro sport, you'll know that there are a few players who consistently outperform their peers. This is true in any profession, whether law, finance, music or software engineering. It is simply the case that the performance of members of any profession varies widely, including within the Sacramento laser vision correction community.

Because of the complexity of LASIK, and the wide array of potential visual outcomes that may result from the procedure, most Sacramento LASIK patients find it difficult to compare the performance of Sacramento laser eye surgery providers. Naturally, these patients focus on criteria that are relatively easy to understand, including price and location.

We're not going to deny that, if you live in the Sacramento area, a Sacramento LASIK surgery doctor has a location advantage over ScottHyver Visioncare's offices in Daly City, Santa Clara, and San Ramon. Instead, we're going to prove why other factors trump the location advantage enjoyed by Sacramento laser vision correction surgeons. But first, let's talk about price.

Sacramento LASIK at Discount Prices?

What's your reaction when you see Sacramento LASIK surgery advertised for a few hundred dollars per eyeball? If you're a risk taker or someone with little financial means, this offer may be just what you're looking for. If on the other hand, you've got a little experience in life, you're probably going to approach this ad with skepticism. You may wonder how a Sacramento laser eye surgery provider can stay in business charging so little, and what this basement fee says about the potential quality of delicate laser surgery on the corneal tissues of your eyes.

In Search of a Safe & Superb Outcome

Safety is not the only question that should be on your mind. The vast majority of Sacramento LASIK eye surgery providers are safety-conscious. But that's not the end of the story. You don't worry about the safety of consuming a Big Mac at McDonald's (or maybe you do), but you certainly wouldn't choose McDonald's to host your 25th wedding anniversary. After all, this is a special occasion that deserves extra care and attention.

LASIK is also a special occasion in your life. If you're like most of our Sacramento laser vision correction patients, LASIK is a liberating event. Because you have one chance to get it right, and since you'll live with the results the rest of your life, you want a great LASIK outcome, not just an average, run-of-the-mile result.

Great LASIK Outcomes are Born in the Pre-Op Stage of Your Care

Here is where we make the case that Dr. Hyver's analytically rigorous approach to your pre-op care makes him a superior choice over Sacramento LASIK eye surgery doctors. And that this advantage, augmented by the special travel rebate we offer our Sacramento Wavefront LASIK patients, justifies your going the extra miles for your treatment.

The quality of your pre-operative care is probably the single greatest influence on your ultimate LASIK visual outcome. The difference between achieving a post-op visual acuity of 20/20, compared to the far superior 20/15, is often a function of the caliber of the pre-op protocol. Why? Because in the critical pre-op stage, your vision error and corneal features are mathematically characterized. The resulting data are processed by sophisticated software to produce an "ablation profile" that tells the laser where to move, and for how long to fire, over your cornea. The more precise these data, the better your LASIK outcome is likely to be.

Sacramento LASIK surgeons, and for that matter LASIK surgeons throughout the state, take vastly different approaches to the pre-op stage of your care. It may be hard to believe, but some Sacramento laser eye surgery doctors don't even see you during the pre-op stage, delegating the work to non-medically trained personnel. What does your Sacramento LASIK surgery doc's absence say about the ultimate accuracy of the data generated during this essential stage of your care?

Hardly better is the Sacramento LASIK eye surgery specialist who breezes into your exam room, performs a quick and cursory exam, and then is off to his next appointment. To what extent does this McDonald's-like "assembly line" process achieve a thorough and accurate understanding of your vision problem and needs? Since your Sacramento laser vision correction provider is under no legal requirement to produce the best outcomes he can, spending extra time with each patient means seeing fewer patients overall, thereby eating into his earnings potential.

Dr. Hyver's "Test Twice, Treat Once" Philosophy

Dr. Hyver is personally and extensively involved in the pre-op stage of your care, because he is interested in optimizing your LASIK outcome, not just settling for average results. But there's more to it than that: Dr. Hyver is virtually unique in the Northern California LASIK market in his devotion to the "test twice, treat once" pre-op philosophy. Unlike the vast majority of Sacramento LASIK eye surgery providers, Dr. Hyver analyzes your vision error (i.e., prescription) at both your initial exam, and on your surgery day. By testing your vision error on two separate days, Dr. Hyver can arrive at a more accurate reading of your prescription than taking a single snap shot on your consultation day.

That extra time Dr. Hyver invests in your pre-op care, can mean a lifetime advantage of superior sight. Once you compare our pre-op approach to the Sacramento LASIK eye surgery providers, you'll see that we're unique and worth going the extra miles.

Free Hotel Stay for our Sacramento LASIK Patients

If you live in the Sacramento or San Joaquin valleys, and choose Dr. Hyver for your treatment, we'll lodge you at the Hampton or Hilton for a night at our expense so you don't have to drive home directly after your procedure. You'll be able to come in on a Friday afternoon, for example, for your procedure, after which a taxi will take you less than a mile to one of our two preferred hotels, where you'll stay the night. In the morning, you'll return to our clinic for your one-day post-op, and then you can return home to enjoy your new vision!
